In spite of belligerent stance of NSCN (IM) to continue keeping their Armed Cadres in Shiroivillage and disturbing their peace and tranquility, Assam Rifles had shown understanding and professional ethos by giving adequate opportunities to NSCN (IM) cadres to vacate the area peacefully.
According to a defence release, based on a request made by NSCN (IM) cadres regarding shortage of water and food, the Assam Rifles troops provided food packets and water to cadres confined at Shiroion humanitarian grounds.
It was reiterated again that NSCN (IM) hierarchy should leave aside personal gain and egos and move their cadres out of Shiroito any of designated camps and allow peace and tranquility in the area and alleviate the problems faced by the local populace and its cadres.
